Strip-Immunoassay for the detection of IgG and IgM antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii, rubella virus, cytomegalovirus (CMV), and herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 (HSV-1/2)

recomLine TORCH Screening IgG
The antigens enable differentiated diagnosis in the first step analysis (screening). Interpretation of the recomLine TORCH Screening IgG test follows a two-band strategy. The major band (lysate antigen) shows the presence or the absence of specific antibodies to an infectious agent and the ancillary band (e.g. recombinant antigen) is specific for each pathogen and allows further determination (see Table below).

recomLine TORCH Screening IgM
The diagnostic information presented by the recomLine TORCH Screening IgG assay is supported by the recomLine TORCH Screening IgM assay. The test strips contain one band per infectious agent (four pathogen-specific lysate antigen bands per test strip), which enables the identification of specific IgM class antibodies to T. gondii, rubella virus, CMV, and HSV type 1 and 2, respectively. Sensitivity of the T. gondii-specific cell lysate antigen band is enhanced by an early phase antigen ROP1c.
